Meat lovers pizza left at room temperature for 24 hours. Would you eat it?

You may be able to get away with the cooked meat….. but no way the cheese. A couple hours is max for cheese to sit at room temperature before it becomes a no no to eat.

I agree. Cheese is the worst cooked ingredient on a pizza to eat after 24 hours If you don't put in the refrigerador. If the cheese has passed its expiration date, it should never be eaten.

Cheese? It gets moldy before it truly goes bad. Many cheeses need mold. Cut it off and eat away. I like hard cheese that has sat out and started ro sweat a bit and gets soft. Expiration dates on cheese? Just means it might gather more mold or it gets tangy and zingy like 5 year old cheddar.
I can't believe the authorities think chees shouldn't sit out for over 2 hours.

The meat has so many sulfites in it it will still be pink after 4 days in the back yard... look at hot dogs salami, etc.
If meat is sticky and smells bad run away. If cheese sat out but has no mold on it? Yummy yummy.

Some cheeses can go bad, but roquefort for example actually gets its taste from mold.

Then again, if you want to see where my boundaries lie, google 'casu marzu'. I've never tried it and knowing myself, I probably would if given the opportunity. I wouldn't actively go out of my way for it, though. Brrrr....

I wouldn't eat a "meat lovers" pizza if it sat for 24 minutes. Processed meat is poison

I probably would, if it didn't smell or look funky. After a reheat.

Yeah, yeah, I know danger danger Will Robinson. My parents were raised during the Depression, and it's pretty deeply ingrained in my subconscious to not throw out food.

My mom and dad were born 31 and 32. So they lived the depression, but I doubt they had much real memory of it. They certainly never talked about it. But regardless. Not much got thrown out at our house either. Fast forward to today. My wife and I hate wasting food. Leftovers will get used for another supper if there's enough or a lunch for one if its a small amount.

We have four 'leftover processing facilities'. They're so proactive, they classify things as leftovers before we have... they also come when you call them.

Wouldn't cuz it would be nasty, just order a new one.

Honestly 3 mins in air fryer it wasn't nasty - it was great!

 

[Holme]

I think in fairness we need to get a couple of things straight here -
I live in England where its usually cold - we order pizza,eat what we want,box closes it goes in a cold oven,wake up next day goes in air fryer for dinner/tea.
IF I lived in a scalding hot country,pizza box left open,flies,cockroraches & other horrors swarming all over the place I probably wouldn't touch it with a stolen winkie!
Please understand any temperature that is more than one figure is considered a bonus in England - especially out of summer!

After all the talk about cheese and meat and leaving things out. Eating cold pizza. Mold. Etc. Making a couple Margarita pizzas tonight. Uses fresh mozzarella. Found a couple slices with a tiny bit of mold….. what to do….. what to do. Well, slice the bad part off and throw the rest on the pizza. It’s gonna get cooked.
